TERRIFIC FLOODS IN DAKOTA.
Houses and Bridges swept Away by tho
Breaking OF AN Ice Gorge-Loss Heavy.


BISMARCK, ID. T., March 1s-The Wash
burn gorge broke last night and early this
morning the river be gan to rise rapidly.
The gorge was formed below the city and
the immense warehouse of the Northern
Pacific, one of the largest in the world.
The workmen narrowly escaped drowning
and in less than two hours the water was
in the second stories Of the river board
ing houses which had been built on what
was considered high ground. The ware
house which is nearly 100 feet IN length
was moved bodily over 30 feet and sent
crashing against the bluffs. The loss of
the building will be over SD 900. The
meadow lands south of Bismarck, com
prising 5000 acres, is now one vast sea
The river at this point, usually three
quarters of mile wide, is now over
six miles in width The Northern Pacific
trains will be unable to cross the river for
several days. The people in the lower
part of the city have been moving into the
upper stories of their dwellings, All small
dwellings on the banks of the stream have
been swept away or destroyed and steam
boats lying at Rock Haven are in dan
ger. The high trestle of the Northern
Pacific at this point has been damaged.
The ice went out at Fort Butord this morn
ing with rise of 80 feet, the highest ever
known. This flood will not reach here
until saturday when there will probably
be a terrible destruction. The loss at the
landing and on meadow land here will al
ready reach S3O, 900.
